1) Julia M. Balcerowska, (2022) Conclude their results that Studies on Social Networking Sites (SNS) addiction often focus on Facebook. Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS) is a modified version of the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale. There is a unique contribution disproportion between SNS addiction and Facebook addiction to impaired functioning. Studies conducted on Social Networking Sites (SNSs) addiction have to a large extent focused on Facebook as a prototypical example of SNS. Social Networking Sites Addiction The Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS) is a modified version of the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale. Facebook addiction showed a similar relationship with these variables before controlling for SNS addiction. These results suggest that there is a disproportion in the unique contribution of SNS addiction and Facebook addiction to the impaired functioning of individuals. Possibly, such disproportion is a result of differences in the specificity between SNS addiction and Facebook addiction.
2) Dinesh Naik, (2022) Conclude their results that Social networking, especially on Facebook, has become a favorite pastime for many with over 270 million monthly active users. Other platforms like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Twitter also gained rapid popularity. India has the highest number of Facebook users (310 million). Facebook to engage with like-minded people, and social networking sites have grown tremendously. For many individuals, social networking has become a favorite pastime activity since it allows them to communicate with each other regardless of the time or place. Facebook had over 270 million monthly active users throughout the world, according to the site (Facebook, 2020). Similarly, other social networking sites like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Twitter gained popularity rapidly. Instagram has over 1 billion users worldwide. These social networking applications/sites are also most popular among Indian users. India is the most populated country on Facebook, with approximately 310 million users.
3) ALEXANDER T. VAZSONY, (2016) Emphasized researchers thatb Cyberbullying is associated with negative consequences, impacting mental health. Social media has positive aspects for adolescents in terms of socialization, communication, and support. Cyberbullying is associated with a wide array of negative behavioral and health consequences. Both cyberbullying perpetrators and victims report negative mental health consequences, such as lower self-esteem, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideations. Social media use can provide many positive experiences for adolescents, especially regarding socialization, communication and support. Many teens use social media sites to extend and enhance the friendships they already have from their traditional relationships and the diversity of the Internet allows for the creation of relationships between individuals of different social and cultural backgrounds.
4) Singh, (2020) Conclude their results thatIndividuals face various stressors, and media can be a tool for stress management. Stress management involves analyzing stressors and taking positive actions. Social networking sites may provide a platform for stress management. In the present times, individuals are dealing with many different kinds of stressors at different platforms. It has become important to keep your eyes open at all times to seize the opportunities and this can happen with the help of media. The world has become highly volatile in all respects, and so there is found dramatic changes in the use of media by younger generations (Volkenburg & Piotrowsk.Stress management consists of a set of techniques to deal more effectively with stress, by analyzing the specific stressors and taking positive actions to minimize their effect (Bickerstaff, 2008; Hobfoll, 1988). According to Griffiths (2013), individuals tend to mask their problems and stresses and present a pleasant picture of theirs on social networking on internet.With this view, presence on social networking sites may provide a platform for stress management.
5) Kristen L., (2018) Emphasized researchers that Social networking allows constant interaction through smartphones, enabling an “always on” lifestyle. Smartphone addiction is tied to the functionalities they offer, including constant connectivity and social networking. social networking interactions occur through a screen, they allow individuals to interact at any time (Kuss & Griffiths, 2017). Smartphones have enabled this possibility even more. Smartphones are designed to be carried with a person wherever they go. It allows for an “always on” lifestyle. Smartphones and social networking sites allow for individuals to be connected 24/7, in a way they could not connect in person.When individuals are addicted to their smartphones, they are addicted to the functionalities their phones allow them to do (Kuss & Griffiths, 2017). This includes the ability to be connected at all times through phone calls, facetime, texting or social networking.
6) Allison H., (2016) Conclude their results that Internet Addiction involves the failure to control internet use, leading to negative consequences. Excessive internet use relates to other addictive behaviors like compulsive online shopping. Equally important in this research is the concept of Internet Addiction, defined as a user’s failure to control the use of the Internet, typically resulting in negative consequences in the user’s life.Excessive Internet use has been related to other addictive behavior such as compulsive online shopping; even if it may not be the source, but merely the enabler of such behavior.The studies by Beard (2005) and Young (1998) identified Internet Addiction and measured its severity, whereas Lee and Cheung (2014) measured the relationship between Internet Addiction and psychological wellbeing, and Spada (2014) focused on the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of Internet Addiction. These studies failed to specifically explore the influence of (i) social networking site use on Internet Addiction and (ii) Internet Addiction on online compulsive buying. A function of this research is to fill the gaps identified here, namely the influence of social networking site use has on Internet Addiction and online compulsive buying.
7) Javed, Ased, (2022) Emphasized researchers that SNS users spend significant time daily, especially in SMEs, checking SNS more than 100 times a day. 3G-4G connectivity and smartphone availability contribute to constant social network activity. According to Matthes et al., (2020), SNSs users are spending more than 150 minutes per day on SNSs. People are using SNSs during all the free available time they have (Al-Otaibi, 2022; Johannes et al., 2018) they are checking SNSs more than 100 times each day. These habits are more profound in SMEs workers and they increasingly use SNSs to stay connected with friends, family, and co-workers (Vorderer et al., 2017). Due to 3G – 4G connectivity (5G to be launched soon) and the common availability of smartphones to every individual, people remain active on social networks all the time which leads to frequent communication with other group members.
8) Khyalappa,(2014) Conclude their results that Social Networking Addiction is part of Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD). Criteria for SNAD/SNAS involve components like tolerance, withdrawal, and loss of control. Social Networking addiction syndrome/Social Networking addiction disorder (SNAS/SNAD) is a part of internet addiction disorder (IAD). Internet addiction disorder was originally proposed as a disorder in a satirical hoax by Ivan Goldberg in 1995.Internet addiction disorder may be broadly defi ned as “the inability of individuals to control their internet use, resulting in marked distress and/or functional impairment in daily life”. In the literature, addiction has involved six core components adapted from the DSM-IV text revision (TR) criteria and the International Classifi cation of Diseases-10 (ICD-10) criteria for a dependence syndrome, including tolerance, withdrawal, increased use, loss of control, extended recovery periods, and continued use despite of negative consequences. In order to be diagnosed with social networking sites addiction (SNAD/SNAS), at least three (preferably more) of the above mentioned criteria should be met in the same 12-month period and they must cause signifi cant impairment to the individual.
9) Alguzo, Naela A, (2022) Emphasized researchers thatStudies explore the negative effects of social networking site addiction on academic performance. Symbolic modeling is used for enjoyable learning and behavior change in counseling. Several studies explored the effects and negative consequences of social networking site addiction on academic performance, as well as positive emotions that increase academic performance, such as academic motivation and attitudes towards education (Azizi et al., 2019; Cao et al., 2018).Symbolic modeling is an enjoyable learning process that helps students learn more effectively and improve their behaviors. It also aims to gain new likable behaviors and change or reduce an individual’s actions (Nopianti & Hafina, 2018). It can be customized for either individual or group counseling.Hence, it can be said that the purpose of the current exploration was to determine the nature of the effects of symbolic modeling processes by reducing median social networking site addiction scores and enhancing median intrinsic academic scores of experimental class students compared to changes in median scores of the control group among participants. Two hypotheses that were
10) Daria J, (2011) Conclude their results thatSocial Networking Sites are web-based services allowing users to create profiles, connect with others, and share interests. Facebook, with over 500 million users, is a rapidly expanding virtual community.Social Networking Sites are virtual communities where users can create individual public profiles, interact with real-life friends, and meet other people based on shared interests. SNSs are “web-based services that allow individuals to: (1) construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system, (2) articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection, and (3) view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system.The site expanded very quickly Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2011, 8 3530 and Facebook currently has more than 500 million users, of whom fifty percent log on to it every day.
CONCLUSION :
The summarized studies collectively indicate the pervasive influence of social networking on individuals’ lives, ranging from addiction concerns and mental health implications to the role of these platforms in stress management and academic performance. The findings emphasize the need for a nuanced understanding of SNS addiction, considering specific platforms, and highlight both positive and negative consequences associated with extensive social media use.
